MIL keeps adding elaichi in my milk and tea daily saying its good. But i read somewhere mixed things na so thoda confused. Is it actually safe in first trimester?
After my long IVF journey, I was super cautious about everything I ate. My doctor told me that a pinch of cardamom in tea or kheer is perfectly fine and safe. Just have it in moderation, and it will actually help with that metallic taste in your mouth.
Yes, absolutely! I used to have elaichi tea daily when I was pregnant, and it really helped with my mild nausea. Now that I am breastfeeding, I still enjoy it. Just keep the quantity normal like you always did.
Let's be practical, a spice used for seasoning is not going to harm your baby. Avoid eating high-concentrate cardamom supplements or herbal oils, but regular kitchen use is 100% fine. Go ahead and have your favorite elaichi chai!
Arre, don't stress too much about small things like cardamom, yaar! It's just a normal spice we use daily in chai and food. Enjoy your tea and stay relaxed, pregnancy is too short to worry about one elaichi.
Haha, this question takes me back to my pregnancy days when I googled every single herb! My toddler is active and healthy now, and trust me, I ate lots of elaichi in biryani and sweets. It's totally safe in food amounts, so enjoy your meals!
I am in my second trimester now and literally asked my MIL the same thing yesterday! She said normal home food with elaichi is completely safe, but I still get nervous sometimes. Are you also checking every ingredient before cooking?
Honestly, elaichi was my savior during early pregnancy when I had terrible morning sickness. Chewing on a tiny piece of cardamom really helped control that vomiting feeling. Try it once, it's safe in small amounts and much better than medicine.
OMG, I also used to worry about every single spice in my kitchen! Green cardamom or elaichi in normal tea or food is absolutely fine, don't worry. Just don't go eating whole pods raw throughout the day, excess of anything makes me anxious.
